~VIVIANI IN_ BOSTON » Audince Stands During Address s Sign of Respect Boston, May 1¢.—Boston gave a _Warm greeting yesterday to Rene Viviani, former premier.of France and head of the French war mission to the United States.' The distin- guished vistor, coming a day after the - ©ity had outstretched its arms to Mar- :/shal Joffre, was feasted, toasted, and clu.rod by thousands. & cold, drizsling rain that tfll-ll day, M. Viviant and his party ‘Were taken through streets decorated wlth the colors of France, Great Britain, ‘and the United States, and wete applauded enthusiasticany Wwherever they went. ‘Welcomed by Governor 'McCall, mayor Curley and other state and city ©officlals, the French statesman later was the center of a reception in the Boston Public Library. - A visit to. the home of A. Lawrence Lowell, presi- dent of Harvard university, and to the ‘Widener Memorial library of that in- stitution, and another reception and dinner at the Boston City club com- Pleted the list of functions for the day. M. Viviani and his party, which in- cluded the Marquis de Chambrun and Vignal, military attache at the French embassy 1in Washington, arrived here from Ottawa a little af- ‘ter's 8. m. They were met at the sta- tion by Willlam L. Phillips and War- ren-H. Robbins, of the state depart- meat, and local officlals and ‘were driven to -the home of Dr. Henry F. Sears in Beacon street. After & morn- ing of rest,;" M. Viviani and his party ‘were tho .guests of .Governor McCall at a luncheon in the home. i Never Alarmed By itrality. ‘The visit of the public library was thefirst public event on the day’s pro- gram. Speaking from the grand stair- way to An audience that filled every avallable foot of space, M. Viviani said that he had riever been alarmed over ‘the neutrality of ‘the United Btates. . “I knew in my hea emphasis, “that your great country could not contemplate the slaughter of innoceénts, the ‘burning of cathe- outrages without throwing in vour lot with France and drals, and other her allfes.*” ) He pleaded for “spiritual union across the sea,” which he said would forever safeguard the principles of true democracy. The present war, he sald, must be a fight to finish, and there must be only the thought of vic- tory in the minds of all the allies. If a4 German 'victory were possible, he added, the free peoples of the world, those of America included, would be reduced to “servitude and siavery.” After leaving .the library, members of the mission paid a short visit to the local headquarter .of the American Fund for French Wounded. They were then driven to the Peter Bent Brig- ham hospital, where they viewed the work of the Surgical Dressings com- mittee. Then a flying trip was made to Cambridge, and M. Viviani called at the home of President Lowell. He expressed. regret at being unable to be at the.university Saturday to re- ceive the honorary degree which was to have been conferred upon him. . The visitors’ day closed with a re- ception and dinner at the City club and an address in the great auditor- fum by M. Viviani, which evoked & demonstration that the s er de- clared would be one of the pleasantest. memories of his mission to America, Encouraged, evidently, by the realiza- tion that a very large percentage of his 2,000 auditors followed his French without difficulty. M. Viviant for nearly an hour. ‘The City club established two prece- dents, It gave a dinner to a guest on Sunday, and the audience stood on their feet throughout his address. The only smile that lightened the grave face of the orator broke when at the conclusion of his address the pre- siding officer called for a ‘‘rising vote” of thanks. When the laughter had ceased a show of hands was substl- tuted. Always sympathetic, his hear- ers in several instances interrupted the speaker with applause and cheers that continued for several minutes. City Club Democracy of Soclety. “In this city, foremost in learning of American cities,” said' M. Viviani, “f find a democracy unknown in France. The City club represents a ‘democracy of society.

Each state has its own legislature, but all are subject to Federal laws that were made for all. May we not hope for the day when all the nations of the earth will be united as are your states, under certain bfoad and general re- striction# that: will make ‘it foréver 1mpossiblé for: some autoctdt to p havoc ‘with ths "unfverse 2 117 M. Viviani paid a fervent tribute to | the men in the trenches. “History,” hec said, “will preserve for all time the names of distinguished statesmen and generals. By far the great majority of those who fall on the firing line will never be known except in the homes from which they are missed. Their identities will live only in the hearts of the few who loved them. But their kin wiil have the comfort of knowing that those who fell for France and America died that their children and their children’s children might be free of the ghost of autocracy.” At the dinner which followed his 'address M. Viviani, who seemed to have recovered somewhat from the fatigue which he showed plainly upon his arrival in the city, toasted the club, the city, the state, President Wiison, and all America, the warmth of whose welcome, he saild, had warmed the hearts of the mission, and constituted one of the happlest gifts that the great republic had made to its sister repub- lic overseas.

WAR FOR A TIME| Thirst and Hept Among Things Confronted in the East Cairo, May 14.—‘“Operations had to be temporarily suspended owing to a mirage,” says an official communica- tion from the Diala front, describ- ing a minor strategic movement there. It 15 & reminder that, despite modern war inventions, there is at least one front where world-old. conditions still play a dominating part. Thirat, heat, and mirage are among the most im- portant factors to be considered in far- Bastern campaigning, ' just as they were twenty centuries and more ago. Although the why and wherefore of the mirage is better understood now than then, the Brltish troops in Sinal and Mesopotamia ‘have frequently been held up and mystified by the vision of lakes and trees, just as were the soldiers of Joshue or Alexander. On the occasion referred to in the communication, the mjrage was of minor character, preventing reliable Teconnaissances. .On a similar oc- casion some time ago, it produced the effect of the appearance of big Turk- 18h reinforcements which necesasitated caution until their phantom character had been established. g Mirages seriously interferred with Napoleon’s Egyptian campaign, and it was due to the investigations of a French scientist who accompanied that jpxpedition that they were first traced to tricks of atmospheric, re- traction. WHAT AMERICANS CAN DO Luke Doyle, Driver of Ambulance for ° American Field Corps, to Tell of Work at Lyceum.Theater May 29. The work which the Américan Fleld Ambulance corps is contributing ta the French cause in the Buropean conflict, will be vividly pictured by Luke Doyle of Worcester, Mass., a{ & lecture to be given in the Lyceum theater May 29. Having seen service as a driver of one of the American ambulances at the front for many months, Mr. Doyle is ably qualified to picture. the deeds that are 'daily per- formed by the gallant band of Ameri- cans -assisting in this work. During one. of the hardest battles of the war on the western front, Mr. Doyle narrowly escaped death when a German shell 'struck his machine,, killing his companion driver and in- juring him to the extent that he was sonfined in a hospital for severgl months. The lecture will be illus- trated by four British war fllms and twa French films.
